The Buccaneer has on odd feature: two of the pylons are separate, but two of them are moulded in one piece with half a rocket pod. That's a real pain if you're not using them but were looking forward to having a spare pair of 36-round 2" RN rocket pods.

How hard is to cut the rocket pod off the pylon?

Just got my latest Workbench e-mail and amongst the new and re-released kits news Airfix have confirmed that they will be making a "big" announcement at 11am on the Saturday again.

What time did you get there last year Kit ?  ;) ;D

Pass, I was just wandering by wondering what the cameras were doing, but it wasn't long after they'd announced the Hellcat.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It's the 1/24 Lysander III they held off releasing last year because of the Hellcat.  To be followed by 1/48 and 1/72 Lysander II/III kits.

My Limited Edition Motorhead He111 has been delivered to my chosen freight forwarding depot (my parents house) and then posted onwards.

Airfix's show announcement appears to be a 1/72nd scale Avro Vulcan?

Unless I've read the online Workbench incorrectly?
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

Interesting.  I hope they made it easily modable to become a B.1 version...   :thumbsup:

So that's the reason why the old Airfix Avro Vulcan prices are going up on eBay.

I noticed it will come with three 7-bomb clips in the bomb bay.  I'll have to watch the video on SPF again that shows a 10-bomb clip being loaded, and see how I could adapt them.
